Seascape Beach Resort
Aptos · beach and coast
A bluff-top ceremony over a long, quiet stretch of Monterey Bay, with a ballroom of the same footprint as the real weather backup.
A common error: this is not a beach ceremony. The resort's own copy places ceremonies on the bluff terrace with the beach as backdrop. A ceremony down on the sand at Rio del Mar falls under Seacliff State Beach — 50 people maximum, alcohol prohibited, no holiday weekends. Chaminade also has a differently sized room with the same 'Seascape Ballroom' name.
The practical details
Capacity
Up to 250
The Bluff takes 120 to 250, the Island 50 to 110, and the Seascape Ballroom 120 to 250 on the wedding page. The resort's own meetings page gives the same ballroom a capacity of 320. Confirm which applies.
Indoor capacity
250
Seascape Ballroom 4,000 sq ft, 120-250. Riviera Room 1,900 sq ft, capacity not given
Rain backup
Partial
The ballroom matches the bluff capacity, but the resort states no rain-backup policy; confirm it in writing.
